Does McGill have communal or private washroom?

Specifically in Hugh Stephens, I hate communal washrooms.... Or any recommendations for buildings with private washrooms?

Room D115 in Maclaurin

Okay I thought this room was really weird at first, but now I'm honestly so in love with it. I like the open layout and spacing it has. Im a lot more comfortable in this room than traditional lecture halls. Is this a controversial opinion for anyone who has used this room? lol

Snow's in the forecast. Place your bets on UVic's response

The current forecast is for potentially several centimeters of snow accumulation by Monday... Place your bets on how UVic will screw up this time around so we we can all feel morally superior when they inevitably fumble their response yet again!

I'm half-joking, but my bet's that the decision will be based on what Kevin Hall sees when he looks out his window Monday morning.

I am having an exam in lockdown browser, but I am running multiple monitors. Will it cause any problems?

I have never used any of this before, and since my pc is in the corner and it would be lot of work to pull it out and disconnect the monitors.

I am wondering is there any way to deal with this except pulling my pc out that is in the corner being sandwiched by a desk and a bunch of other stuff?

Thankyou.

Questions About UVic Exchange Program

Hi everyone,

I’m considering applying for a one-year exchange program at the University of Victoria and have a question

Are there any faculty, programs, or resources on campus to help exchange students improve their English skills? I’m already at a high-intermediate level and have passed the TOEFL test, but I want to take this year to truly master my English. If anyone has insights on UVic’s language support or general advice, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Co-op or summer job

In first year computer science, and am debating on whether to get a co-op or summer job. I don't think I have the skills yet for a co-op, since it might be demanding (will it?), and I don't want to put my health in jeopardy either by having a job where I don't move much or where I'm in front of screens all day.

Uvic garbage disposal

Im just wondering if uvic has any garbage disposal or cleaning staff for campus because there is an outrageous amount of garbage everywhere. The smoking bench by the cove is also disgusting and i never see anything done with it.

Are you an International Student who will be studying at UVic for at least 6 months? Students planning to stay in BC for 2 terms or more must apply for primary health insurance through the BC Medical Services Plan (BC MSP). Info session coming up!

Long shot: is there a grad student researching hip hop culture in the house, by any chance?

The title says it all… almost! I’m a prof in the Humanities and I may have a cute little one-day only contract to offer to said grad student. So if that’s you, or if you know someone who fits the description, please contact me!

Lost earring

Long shot, but I lost one of my earrings, most likely in Cornett or mystic market. A friend made these for me over a decade ago so I’m pretty upset I’ve lost one. TIA :)

MBA

Hello,

I am trying to figure out if the UVic MBA is worth it? I understand UVic isn't prestigious like UoT or UBC or McGill but would it offer good networking opportunities and business competitions to gain real world experience and connections? Has anyone completed an MBA from UVic recently? Would you recommend it? Did it help you professionally?

A little about me: Undergrad degree in biology and 5 years of work experience in different fields (science and healthcare). Currently based in Victoria.

What is the percentage of comp sci majors that make it into 2nd year?

I believe that math 101, 122, and csc 115 are very hard, and most likely will have to retake at least one.
